Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing finely divided dispersions of metal oxides in aluminum hydroxide.
  • hydroxide dispersions Another method for producing hydroxide dispersions is the so-called sol-gel technique, which is used, for example, for the elements uranium, zirconium, thorium, magnesium, zinc, nickel, aluminum and titanium (Journal Amer. Ceramic Soc., Bull. 51, pp. 158-161).
  • sol-gel technique which is used, for example, for the elements uranium, zirconium, thorium, magnesium, zinc, nickel, aluminum and titanium.
  • the particle size of the starting brine is very small and the solids concentration is usually very low.
  • the high water content must first be reduced by extensive filtration. The dried product then has a very low bulk density.
  • organometallic compounds which is known in the case of oxide mixtures of ZrO2 ⁇ TiO2 and Al2O3, can be regarded as a further possibility for producing dispersions of various metal oxides in one another. Such a procedure is described in the Journal Amer. Ceramic Soc. 50, pp. 532-577.
  • the object of the present invention is to enable the production of finely divided dispersions of metal oxides and / or metal hydroxides in aluminum hydroxide with a low water content, that is to say a high solids concentration in the filter-moist state and homogeneous mixing, by means of a simple, environmentally friendly process.
  • the object is achieved by the features specified in the claims.
  • the process according to the invention essentially consists in that the metal oxide and / or hydroxide to be dispersed is used as a vaccine for a supersaturated sodium aluminate lye.
  • the effectiveness of the process becomes particularly high, if in addition to the metal oxide is vaccinated with aluminum hydroxide, it being particularly favorable to carry out the vaccination with aluminum hydroxide only after the vaccination with the metal oxide has ended.
  • all metal oxides and metal hydroxides can be used as vaccines if they are insoluble in sodium aluminate at room temperature.
  • the use of oxides of the metals of the third and / or fourth subgroup of the periodic system of the elements is particularly advantageous for the production of cutting ceramics, in an inoculation amount of 2-40% by weight of the aluminum hydroxide dissolved in the aluminate solution.
  • zirconium dioxide preferably partially stabilized zirconium dioxide, as the metal oxide.
  • oxides of the metals magnesium, cobalt, nickel, zinc, chromium, iron, thorium or oxides of the rare earths can also be used.
  • a sodium aluminate solution (140 g Na2O fr. / 1, molar ratio Na2O / Al2O3: 1.6) originating from the Bayer process known for the industrial extraction of Al2O3 was stirred in thermostated beakers and inoculated with ZrO2 (d50: 6.3 ⁇ m).
  • the amount of vaccine was 2 g / l, 10 g / l and 20 g / l, respectively.
  • the crystallization times were 1, 6, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours.
  • the temperature was 40 ° C in all cases. After 24 hours, when viewed under scanning electron microscopy, all ZrO2 particles have a shell of Al (OH) 3.
  • the table below shows the crystallization times of ZrO2 and the percentage yield of the Al (OH) 3 present in the alkali.
  • the example shows that the percentage of ZrO2 can be varied widely by varying the amount of vaccine and the crystallization time.
  • the crystallization times should be between 24 and 72 hours. Crystallization sets in within 24 hours, but the yield is very low. Above 72 hours, the precipitation proceeds very slowly at vaccination rates of 10 to 50 g / l. In experiments, higher amounts of inoculation have not proven to be useful, since not all ZrO2 particles were enclosed by aluminum hydroxide and there would have been a risk of separation of the ZrO2 particles from the aluminum hydroxide particles during the processing of the precipitate.
  • Example 2 was carried out in the same way as Example 1, but the ZrO2 used was ground to a particle size of d50: 1.2 ⁇ m immediately before the vaccination. It turns out that the finer vaccine causes not only a better distribution of the ZrO2 in the mixture due to the small grain size, but also higher yields of Al (OH) 3. In addition to Example 1, the average grain size of the ZrO2 / Al (OH) 3 particles is given.
  • Example 3 was carried out analogously to example 2. In addition, however, was vaccinated with Al (OH) 3 in order to further improve the overall yield and to reduce the grain size of the individual grains of the product.
  • the ZrO2 vaccine was mixed with 1 g / l of a very fine Al (OH) 3 vaccine (d50: 1.2 ⁇ m).
  • the Al (OH) 3 vaccine had previously been ground to the grain size in order to show the highest possible vaccination activity. Crystallization on the vaccine occurs as a competitive reaction to crystallization on ZrO2 and causes the formation of a thinner layer of Al (OH) 3 on the ZrO2 grains.
  • the Al (OH) 3 layer can grow without a competitive reaction during the first crystallization phase.
  • the result lies in the grain size between Examples 2 and 3.
